IBRAHIM QURAISHI is an artist who works with various media and whose primary interest is exploring visual performativity in terms of its relation to cultural perspectives. His approach to the world is that of a traveler. Coming from a mixed background. His family is from South Arabia-Yemen, Uzbekistan and Pakistan with US and French nationalities. ART NET Survey named him in its list in 2017: "Quraishi is a visual artist whose work encompasses various mediums: primarily such as analogue photography, photo painting, video, film, architectural sculptures and performance installations. Quraishi is characterised by a nomadic existence and divides his time between several cities between Europe and the Middle East. He consciously explores the dynamics of migration."
